Muyres wins mixed doubles national title

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

For the second time in three years, a local curler is off to Sweden for the World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.

After Humboldt’s Dustin Kalthoff won the Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling title in 2016, St. Gregor’s Kirk Muyres matched the feat this year.

Muyres and his partner Laura Crocker captured the mixed doubles title with an 8-7 win over the pair of Colton Lott and Kadriana Sahaidak in the final.

It was Muyres’ first Canadian title since winning the 2011 Canadian Junior Curling Championship. “I’m getting to that point in my career where it’s time to step up and maybe win another one of these and get that feeling and get some of that experience in those big games and now at the world championships. So it feels great to say I’m a national champion and put that gold medal around my neck,� summed up Muyres.

Of course, Muyres joins a long list of Canadian greats to win a Canadian title, and joins a smaller list of those to win a Canadian mixed doubles title.

The most recent winners of a Canadian title in mixed doubles were the pair of John Morris and Kaitlyn Lawes, who won the Olympic trials, and eventually the Olympic title.

Muyres says having his name mentioned in the same breath as some of Canada’s other great curlers is “huge.� “With mixed doubles being so popular and having so many great players playing it, and having to beat so many great players to win the national title, it feels pretty good. I’m honoured to be a part of that group but I have a few more national titles to win before I can put myself with the likes of some of those other

The pair of Crocker and Muyres rolled through the national championship, accumulating a record of 9-1.

It was that lone loss that turned their bonspiel around, says Muyres.

Muyres and Crocker lost to the team of Emilie and Robert Desjardins 9-7 in draw 11, after opening the bonspiel 5-0. “We kind of looked back on it wondering why maybe we lost that one and it really came down to communication. We weren’t quite communicating well enough in that game to pick up the little nuances in the ice and so we said from that moment forward we’re going to make sure we really over communicate anything we’re seeing out there,� noted Muyres.

That seemed to work for the pair as they rattled off four straight wins to claim the national title. “That’s really what was the game changer for us going into the playoffs and going into the final game where it was really going to be a pressure cooker. We kind of kept that communication high and it St. Gregor’s Kirk Muyres (right) teamed up with Laura worked for us.�

Middle Lake celebrates double gold

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

After an incredible weekend that saw the Middle Lake boys and girls basketball teams earn double gold, the school took time to celebrate with a rally at Three Lakes School on March 28.

Girls basketball coach, and Three Lakes School principal, Trevor Otsig says bringing home double gold is a proud moment for the school.

“The community, the parents, our staff, they put in countless hours. The kids have put in countless hours. It just says a lot about everyone. Not just one team or the other, but about everyone involved.”

With the school bringing home both gold medals, Otsig says it is a great representation of the commitment everyone has to the programs.

“You need the commitment there’s no doubt. You need kids that are committed to the program to reach something like that… The expectations are there for everyone, from coaches down to the players and I think that teaches kids life long lessons hopefully.”

It has been an incredible run for Middle Lake girls provincial basketball, with the girls making an appearance six years in a row winning four golds and two silvers.

The boys meanwhile just put the finishing touches on their second straight provincial title, the first boys team to do so since Regina Harvest City won back-to-back in 2011 and 2012.

“Winning provincial gold medals is a feat in itself for any school, let alone two in the same sporting season from the same school of 79 students kindergarten to grade 12,” Otsig told the excited fans at the rally.

“But keep in mind these championships were not just won all of a sudden this year. It has taken many years of commitment from these players, from their coaches and from their parents…

Countless hours preparing, practicing, shooting, driving, and sleeping in schools all came together at the right time for this group of young men and women,” he said.

“Be proud of yourselves and each other and remember the journey to get here.”

The journey was very different for each team, as the boys dominated provincials, while the girls were forced to work for the title.

The Avengers boys team won their final six games of the season by a combined score of 448-287, with their closest contest being an 81-69 win over Davidson in the provincial semi-finals.

The Boys Avengers did not trail at the half in either of their two provincial contests.

“Obviously it means a lot. All the practicing and shooting at lunch and all that pays off in the end,” said Avengers head coach, Craig Martinka.

Martinka is a former Avenger, who just two years prior was plying his trade on the court for his hometown squad.

Marshmallows lined the floor of the Middle Lake gym on March 28. After celebrating both the boys’ and girls’ provincial basketball gold medals, the players took some time to play games with their younger school mates. The game saw the players lay on the floor with an ice cream cone in their mouths as younger students threw marshmallows, hoping to score more “baskets” than anyone else. photo by Christopher Lee “I always wanted to stick with basketball, I’ve been doing it since I was young and then after I was done playing I just thought it would be nice to join the coaching staff and carry on with coaching,” noted Martinka, who in his two years with the club has won two provincial titles.

Of course, Martinka is a popular name on the Avengers boys basketball squad, as Craig’s brother Troy served as the lone grade 12 on the squad and was captain.

Being able to share the title with his brother was special, says Craig.

“Obviously he’s in grade 12 so he went out on a high note.”

Of course, the coach-player relationship was tested, but Troy says it was likely more difficult on Craig giving direction than it was on him taking it.

Not only being able to share it with his brother, but also with the community was special, says Troy.

“We’re a small community so everyone gets to celebrate it all together.

Everyone hears about it.”

Girls Avengers captain, and lone grade 12 Jenna Brockman agreed with Troy, noting it was also nice because not everyone get to celebrate with them right after they won.

“When you get to bring it back to your town and share it with everyone, at the same time it’s really nice.”

Being able to also share in the success with Brockman and the rest of the girls team made it even more special, NEW LISTING 205 – 1st Ave W, Englefeld $149,500.00

NEW LISTING 301 – 1st Ave N, Naicam $100,000.00

says Troy.

“Last year we couldn’t quite do it but this year it’s a different story.”

While Troy and the boys made the boys tournament look easy, Brockman and the girls were a different story.

After winning five straight by a combined score of 362-180 to get to the provincial final the girls ran into trouble.

Taking on top seeded, and defending champion Kenaston proved tough for the Avengers in the first half, as they trailed 28-23 at the half.

The Avengers responded excellently in the second half, outscoring Kenaston 37-15 to win by 17.

Otsig admitted he knew it was not going to be easy to beat Kenaston in the final, but says the girls stuck with it and were rewarded for it.

Otsig noted heading into the half he felt the Avengers’ shooting was not good enough, and said after watching how well they shot the week before he knew their shooting would improve.

It was just a matter of tightening up defensively.

“You just kind of sensed it on the bench there. Towards the end of the third quarter things were kind of starting to even out, maybe go a little bit our way and then fourth quarter they just stepped up. Our captain led by example out there and the rest of the kids just followed along and that’s what you need. You need everyone whether they were on the court playing or whether they were on the bench 11 Humboldt Lake Drive $469,900.00

cheering. Everyone contributed, it’s a team win for sure.”

Having been through that experience should serve well for a club who returns all but one player next year, but Otsig says the returners will have to work hard to get back again next year.

“Experience is big but I don’t care how old you are you have to earn your time on the court. If you’re younger and you’re working for it and you’re in a better position to contribute, well then you’re going to get the chance.”

With both the boys and the girls losing just one player each, and each team coming off a provincial title, Otsig admits the potential is there for both teams to do damage again next season, but says he never wants to count his chickens before they hatch, noting each team loses a big piece as they wave goodbye to their captain, and leading scorer.

“There’s a lot of work between now and then and that means kids going to camps and improving their own individual skills… so that when it comes time for team their game’s have stepped up. They can improve as a team because their individual skills have come along. The basketball season, it’s a defined set time in high school but that’s not saying that you can’t put in the time outside of the season.”

That work begins now for both teams as they look to defend their provincial titles.

Tiger’s back and — gasp! — he’s a masters favourite

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

Tiger’s back! The adverb form of the word describes his competitive situation — two top-five finishes in March for the world’s most famous and most polarizing golfer.

Tiger’s back. The noun, the spinal portion of his body that keeps him upright, is — after fusion surgery last year — just fine, thank you very much. It’s why Tiger Woods will be in the thick of things this week when the Masters — pro golf’s first major — is held at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. In fact, Vegas has him as the No. 1 betting favourite. Sentiment

rules.

Most of the golf world is rejoicing over the fact that Woods, at age 42, has had a rebirth. His fused back is functioning as it did when he was winning 14 majors and the favourite every week. But after a series of personal issues, serious health problems, surgeries and feeble comeback attempts, his competitive obituary had been written many times.

Suddenly, however, a rebirth. The latest surgery worked. Tiger’s swing is as good as before. He is bombing drives and keeping up with the kids. He played in the 18-golfer Hero tournament in December and didn’t embarrass himself, giving him and his fans hope that maybe this time, the comeback would work. It has — in spades. Five tournaments in early 2018. Three top-15 finishes, including two top-fives. One missed cut. Said an unidentified golf instructor on SI.com’s ‘Tour Confidential’: “He looked like an old 41-year-old a year ago. Now he looks like a young 42-year-old. Much more athletic.”

With a good bounce here or a long putt there, Woods could have won the Valspar Championship in Tampa. But he finished one behind Paul Casey.

The next week, at the Arnold Palmer Invitational (API), Woods made a Sunday charge from five shots off the pace, getting to within one stroke of Rory McIlroy’s lead before a drive went out of bounds — uncharacteristic for Woods during his prime, but always a possibility to happen in this latest comeback — on the 16th hole.

The casual golf fan loves it. TV rat-

reading a recent article at www.producer.com.

The story relates research taking place at the University of Saskatchewan which investigates a rather intriguing way to deal with wheat which has been infected by fusarium.

Fusarium head blight can be a major downgrading factor for wheat.

For instance, in 2016 it caused an estimated $1 billion in damage to the prairie wheat crop, noted the story.

The problem is that wheat damaged by fusarium becomes very difficult to market because it can be detrimental to both humans and animals above certain thresholds of contamination. The risk factor is one most just don’t want to take, leaving farmers extremely limited in where they can sell infected wheat.

But researchers at the U of S, headed by Fiona Buchanan, an animal sciences professor, have determined they can fatten up mealworms on a diet of fusarium-damaged wheat and then safely feed the mealworms to broiler chickens.

The story related how researchers bought one tonne of fusarium-damaged wheat with a contamination level of eight p.p.m. of vomitoxin separating the wheat into fractions that ranged from 0.2 p.p.m. to 12 p.p.m. of vomitoxin.

Mealworms were fed the contaminated wheat for 30 days and then fasted to get rid of anything in their gastrointestinal tract. The worms were freeze-dried, ground up and analyzed for toxins.

The worms contained 0.13 p.p.m. of vomitoxin no matter whether they were fed wheat with high

or low doses of vomitoxin.

The mealworms were then fed to chickens, which naturally like worms. The worms are also a pretty good chicken feed since they contain 50 per cent protein and 34 per cent fat.

The research is most interesting because it finds a reasonable solution to a growing problem; that of what can be done with fusarium infected wheat.

Whether the process is reasonably expandable in terms of production scale is to be seen, especially given the uncertainty of damaged wheat supply and the ability to feed the worms in a commercial chicken farm, but it does open some doors to explore.

And it could well spur other researchers to look to more natural ways of dealing with some of the problems farmers face.

Let us be proactive when it comes to addiction help

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

A recent death in a Regina remand centre has shone a light on a lack of opioidrelated care for those going through withdrawal.

CBC reported on March 27 that Breanna Kannick, “died at the remand centre in August 2015 while withdrawing from the hydromorphone she was addicted to.�

There is now an investigation into her death and hopefully we will soon have a strategy for dealing with opioid addiction and withdrawal in our prison systems.

We do have a strategy in place for overdoses at the Humboldt-Lanigan RCMP detachment. Staff sergeant Adare Guest reported at a recent RCMP town hall meeting

that Naloxone kits, which are given to those who have overdoses on opioids, are standard issue for all Saskatchewan RCMP. This is a proactive approach, since there have been no reported deaths from opioid overdoses in rural Saskatchewan. However, there have been reported deaths in urban centres, most recently at the beginning of March.

Rural detachments are now prepared.

In 2016, it was reported that 51 people died as a result of opioid overdoses.

How are we reacting to these senseless deaths?

I was happy to have Leonard L. coming into my office a year ago to discuss a new Narcotics Anonymous group that he was starting in town

(reported in the Humboldt Journal on March 15, 2017).

Unfortunately his health has not allowed him to keep the group running, but I admired his willingness to come forward and say rural Saskatchewan has a drug addiction problem.

We need these kinds of approaches going forward, as new and more harmful drugs are entering Canada and Saskatchewan.

What about other drugs and addictions?

Having harm reduction strategies work.

Look at Vancouver’s safe injection site, Insite, the first of its kind in North America according to a Ken MacQueen Globe and Mail article. It opened in 2003 to controversy, especially from the federal

tion strategies like free needle exchanges have slashed HIV infections and overdose death rates, and have increased the number of people seeking treatment without contributing to an increase in crime.�

According to the Saskatchewan government’s 2016 HIV annual report, Saskatchewan HIV rates have hit an alltime high, with 2,200 cases reported since 1985. Injection drug use was the cause of transmission in 60 per cent of those cases.

With Vancouver ’s Insite offer help for those with drug addiction, would this work in Saskatchewan, and in other places in Canada?

Maybe but this is a sign that more needs to be done if we ever want to see rates fall, let alone keep rates from rising.

Conservatives, however, as noted in the 2015 article, Insite had 600 injections a day at the site, with no overdoses recorded since the centre opened.

Another benefit is that no one who uses the site will transmit HIV or hepatitis through the sharing of needles. “Ideology and the stigma of HIV and drug use are blinding governments, including Canada’s, to the building on the substantial advances in anti-viral therapies that have reduced HIV in B.C. to the level of a chronic disease,� stated the article.

Considering federal pushback, says MacQueen, numerous studies have been done on the site, “concluding that the facility and other harm-reduc-

Breastfeeders should be left in peace back to the internet ways and began criticizing her.

What I am about to say might be a little controversial, but my question is who cares?

Why are we praising her?

Better yet, why are we criticizing her?

Breastfeeding is a natural part of being a mother and having a child.

So having said that, why do we care?

Mothers deserve to be left alone.

Is breastfeeding a child something to praise?

No. Because it is something that happens daily.

We do not celebrate when we walk, talk, breath, or eat.

Nor should we criticize when someone breast feeds, no matter the location.

Now, some people could argue that it is not on the same level as walking, talking, eating or breathing.

That is fair enough, but to me it is one in the same.

If the woman was told she could

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Let’s talk about breastfeeding.

Being a male I am in a unique position.

Either what I am about to say is useless because I am a man or it is useful for the same reasons.

I guess you can be the judge.

Recently, a hockey player from Alberta was praised and criticized for breastfeeding her eight-week old baby during intermission.

First of all, my respect goes out to the mother for making it back on the ice within eight weeks of giving birth.

Having never given birth, I can honestly say I have no idea how a woman’s body feels afterwards.

But from all accounts I have heard, it does not feel good, and usually takes a while to feel better.

So for Alberta native Serah Small to be back on the ice eight weeks later is impressive.

Now, on to the breastfeeding part.

Small’s photo, originally drew praise, before the internet, reverted

not breastfeed and she somehow did it that’s a miracle and deserves praise.

But to just do it?

Leave her alone.

Having said that, does she deserve to be criticized?

Absolutely not.

We have to remember that breastfeeding is a young child’s way of eating.

How can we possibly as a society tell mothers that when they are in public they should be starving their children?

For those that have a problem with it, just move on.

Having said that.

I also do not believe women should be in the middle of public doing so.

You look at Small, she was in the public eye, but in a private-public eye.

She did it quietly in the dressing room with her female teammates, a place that is supposed to be private for those inside.

A perfect place.

Even if you are at a mall, or a restaurant or anywhere else, I have

no issue with breastfeeding but do it quietly.

I would not agree if a mother, sitting right in the middle of the mall or restaurant suddenly decided to start breastfeeding in sight of everyone.

There has to be a level of respect.

In my opinion, mothers should find a quieter, less heavily populated area to breastfeed.

By that I mean, move to a smaller area of the mall or restaurant out of the sight of some people.

Mothers should be trying to breastfeed in an inconspicuous area.

Just like lovers should be kissing and showing their affections for one another in an area where they are not the centre of attention.

And if you see a mother breastfeeding, who cares?

Leave the mothers alone.

Breastfeeding is a natural part of life.

But also stop glorifying the action.

It does not deserve to be praised and it especially does not deserve to be criticized.

Watrous wins first provincial title

photo courtesy of Lynn Martin and by Tracy McGrath

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

The provincial hockey season is now complete.

With the exception of provincial finals, which will not be played until league champions are decided, the final provincial champion games were played over the weekend, with a pair of teams in action.

Both the Watrous Bantam C Hawks and the Drake Senior C Canucks were in action, looking to lock up provincial titles.

Bantam C The Hawks came into the final where they took on Carnduff.

After a scare left the Hawks forced

to win just to make the final, the boys from Watrous made sure it would not happen again.

Game one of the series came in Watrous on March 24.

With the home fans behind them, the Hawks came out flying, and scored early and often en route to a dominant 7-1 win.

With the win the Hawks went out on the road to Carnduff knowing a loss by five goals or fewer would be enough to claim the provincial title.

Despite the huge lead, the Hawks refused to take their foot off the gas.

After scoring approximately four minutes into the opening period, the Hawks offense exploded, scoring

three times in the first period, and five times by the end of period two.

When the final horn sounded the Hawks were ahead 7-0, giving them a 14-1 win in the two-game total goals series.

The series win gave the Hawks their first provincial title.

It also brought to a close an excellent season, which included a league title.

Senior C The Drake Canucks meanwhile, were in their own hunt for the provincial title when they took on the Theodore Buffalos.

The series kicked off in Theodore, where the Canucks drew first blood winning 6-1.

With the win, the Canucks came home to Drake leading the series 1-0, knowing a win would clinch the provincial title.

The Watrous Hawks are provincial champions after knocking off Carnduff 7-0 in game two of their two-game total goal series in Carnduff. The win gave the Hawks a 14-1 series win over Carnduff and marked their first provincial title. Pictured (L to R) Back Row: Ast. Coach Brandon Sundquist, Sage Mierau, Isaac Jensen, Liam Jennett, Matthew Porter, Cooper Isherwood, Evan Borsa, and Ast. Coach Pat Borsa.

Middle Row: Manager Lynn Martin, Ast. coach Jody Lewis, Andre Lewis, Kohle Huber, Daniel Martin, Travis McGrath, Naomi Schmidt, Pearce Bartko, and Head coach Greg Stokke.

Front row: Blake Martin, Owen Edwards, and Kayden Freeman. Goalies: Spencer Stokke and Cohen Sundquist. Missing Carter Pidhorodetsky and Braxton Martin.

Unfortunately for the boys from Drake, defense was hard to come by in game two.

The Canucks gave up eight goals, with the first one coming 33 seconds in as they lost 8-6, and were forced to return to Theodore for a do-or-die game three.

After a wild game two, the third and deciding game was much more playoff like as goals were hard to come by.

The two teams played a tight checking affair, which went into the third period tied at one.

With time winding down, it was the Buffalos who found the back of the net, as they took game three 2-1 and the series 2-1, leaving Drake to settle for silver.

Despite failing to win provincials, it was still a solid season for the Canucks as they managed to win a provincial silver and a league title.

Three youth charged in Marean Lake break and enter

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

proceeded to steal two pellet guns, a purse, and the keys to the couple’s vehicle, said a Greenwater RCMP press release.

They then fled the scene in the couple’s vehicle and another stolen vehicle but were arrested soon after.

The three will be charged with breaking, entering and

Three youth from the Yellow Quill First Nation were quickly apprehended by Greenwater RCMP in a break and enter on March 22.

Two elderly homeowners were not harmed when the youth broke into their home at Marean Lake and

theft to a residence, theft of a motor vehicle and mischief under $5000.

“An 11 year old youth was also identified as being involved but cannot be charged due to their age,” said the press release.

They will appear in Rose Valley Provincial Court on May 16.

St. Gregor Credit Union celebrate 75 years

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

The St. Gregor Credit Union hit an important milestone on March 20 with their 75th anniversary banquet.

Not a lot of independent Credit Unions have lasted this long without merging or shutting down, says St. Gregor-Annaheim branch General Manager, Alan Kiefer, including a few in the last few years.

This recently includes Englefeld and Spalding, he says.

While this is a milestone for the

branch, Kiefer says it is the community that should be proud of keeping the branch going.

“They supported it as well as they have over the years. Without the membership, it wouldn’t have happened.”

And that support has not just come from St. Gregor, but also Humboldt, Muenster, Annaheim, and many other surrounding towns.

Unfortunately some communities losing their own branches has meant more support for St. Gregor.

People still want that level of control

and customer service that comes from a branch like theirs and they try to do their best to offer that support, says Kiefer.

The St. Gregor Credit Union opened in 1942, one of the first in the area.

Those days, the biggest loan was about $15, says Kiefer, with around $1,000 worth of assets.

Now they are at around the $140 million mark between the joint St. Gregor and Annaheim branches but Kiefer says they are still considered one of the smaller branches in the

province.

When Kiefer started around 30 years ago, there were over 100 branches just like theirs with their own names and an independent identity from each other. Now we are down to around 40 different kinds of branches in the province with over 300 outlets.

There is a lot of change when it comes to what a credit union looks like, but, again, Kiefer says that they have done well because of their membership and support from the community.

Canadian Agricultural Safety Association “In theory the prevention of falls is simple.

Nearly all falls result from conditions or practices whose hazard is obvious or readily discoverable. In practice, however, prevention is difficult because the detail involved is very great and it is necessary to improve the performance of practically everyone.” – From “Safety Subjects”, US Division of Labor Standards, 1944.

Falls are a serious concern for all seniors, including senior farmers. According to a report published by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) on Seniors’ Falls in Canada, “falls remain the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations among Canadian seniors.” These falls and their consequences affect physical and mental health and even financial wellbeing.

The Seniors’ Falls in Canada report says that there are complex risk factors that lead to falls and they can be categorized as biological, behavioural, environmental and social. “Each older person may face a unique combination of risk factors according to his or her life circumstances…” Preventing falls isn’t as simple as telling someone to be careful, preventing falls

requires attention to detail and changes to the environment and behaviours.

A Canadian Agricultural Injury Surveillance Program report says that between 1990 and 2000, falls made up the majority of hospitalized farm-related injuries among seniors aged 60+.

These falls were from machines, from heights and on the same level. Many factors that lead to falls are very complex – like how machine vibrations affect balance. However, there are steps that people can take to help prevent slips, trips, and falls on the farm.

With the scope of the problem clear, there are some solutions that can be implemented on farms to prevent these very serious slips, trips, and falls. First, address the environment.

Environmental hazards can be everything from poor stair design to inadequate lighting to uneven surfaces. It can also be hazards like power cords, spills, or even a family pet that gets underfoot. Take a look around the farm and identify those environmental hazards and then address the hazard. Addressing the hazard could be as simple as changing a lightbulb. However, there are hazards that might be costly, time

consuming or even impossible to address, this is where changing behaviour becomes more important.

Behaviours like wearing the appropriate footwear can help reduce the likelihood of a fall.

Eating well and drinking enough water are also behaviours that can help prevent falls. (Being hungry and thirsty make you feel weaker.)

Some medications can interfere with your ability to keep your balance. (Talk to your doctor, explain your activities and develop a plan to reduce the impact of medications on your daily activities.) And very importantly, watch your risk-taking. The PHAC report says “For an older person, behaviours such as climbing ladders… paying little attention to the surrounding environment… are all risk-taking behaviours that lead to falls and injuries.”

Sometimes seniors take risks that they know could lead to injuries. “But I used to do this all the time!” or “I’ve done this before!” are comments that seniors make when asked why they take such risks. Biological changes are a part of the natural aging process. As we age, risk factors for falls like balance changes, chronic con-

ditions and vision changes occur. Sometimes these risk factors can be managed, but sometimes, they cannot. A part of healthy aging is creating conditions so that people can make choices and behave in a way that prevents falls - this includes not taking risks that could lead to a fall, or injury, or even worse, death.

A slip, trip or fall can be prevented. It takes attention to detail and the commitment of everyone on the farm to prevent slips, trips, and falls. Environmental factors can be addressed through managing hazards. Biological factors can be addressed by adjusting behaviours and the environment. Remember, this isn’t a “one size fits all” solution. Each farm, each senior, and each scenario is unique. Protect yourself, your farm and your legacy by taking steps to prevent slips, trips and falls.

Three youth charged in Marean Lake break and enter

They then fled the scene in the couple’s vehicle and another stolen vehicle but were arrested soon after.

The three will be charged with breaking, entering and

Three youth from the Yellow Quill First Nation were quickly apprehended by Greenwater RCMP in a break and enter on March 22.

Two elderly homeowners were not harmed when the youth broke into their home at Marean Lake and

theft to a residence, theft of a motor vehicle and mischief under $5000.

“An 11 year old youth was also identified as being involved but cannot be charged due to their age,” said the press release.

They will appear in Rose Valley Provincial Court on May 16.

St. Gregor Credit Union celebrate 75 years

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

The St. Gregor Credit Union hit an important milestone on March 20 with their 75th anniversary banquet.

Not a lot of independent Credit Unions have lasted this long without merging or shutting down, says St. Gregor-Annaheim branch General Manager, Alan Kiefer, including a few in the last few years.

This recently includes Englefeld and Spalding, he says.

While this is a milestone for the

branch, Kiefer says it is the community that should be proud of keeping the branch going.

“They supported it as well as they have over the years. Without the membership, it wouldn’t have happened.”

And that support has not just come from St. Gregor, but also Humboldt, Muenster, Annaheim, and many other surrounding towns.

Unfortunately some communities losing their own branches has meant more support for St. Gregor.

People still want that level of control

and customer service that comes from a branch like theirs and they try to do their best to offer that support, says Kiefer.

The St. Gregor Credit Union opened in 1942, one of the first in the area.

Those days, the biggest loan was about $15, says Kiefer, with around $1,000 worth of assets.

Now they are at around the $140 million mark between the joint St. Gregor and Annaheim branches but Kiefer says they are still considered one of the smaller branches in the

province.

When Kiefer started around 30 years ago, there were over 100 branches just like theirs with their own names and an independent identity from each other. Now we are down to around 40 different kinds of branches in the province with over 300 outlets.

There is a lot of change when it comes to what a credit union looks like, but, again, Kiefer says that they have done well because of their membership and support from the community.

Local hockey mind runs program for underprivileged

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

For a large majority of Canadians, winter means hockey.

And for a very small portion of Canadians hockey can become a career.

For local hockey instructor Chris Beaudry, hockey is about getting better both on the ice and as a person.

That is why he started B NINE Hockey Development.

Beaduryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B NINE Hockey Development focuses on skill work in the communities surrounding his St. Front farm.

He says he started the program, knowing there was not a lot of opportunity for young players to get extra training without traveling to a larger centre like Aberdeen, Regina, Saskatoon, or Yorkton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really looked at house hockey.

I found when I played, I was a poor player and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d always go to the back of the line. You didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get those extra reps, and when you did in a drill a lot of times if it was three guys going for the puck it never got passed to you. So how do you improve if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a chance to get better?â&#x20AC;?

The program runs through the winter, with Beaudry running the program in Naicam, Rose Valley, and Quill Lake in 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This season the schedule with the

Broncos made it a bit tougher but we did run in Rose Valley from November until just about until playoffs started,â&#x20AC;? noted Beaudry.

He was also able to find time to host stick handling clinics in the upstairs of the Naicam arena this year, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) just another way that we could get out and do a little more.

The ice was pretty booked all the time but we found an opportunity to make things work.â&#x20AC;?

Beaudry says he typically runs the programs alone, but did have some help from Gavin Ingram in 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was working with him and his brother one-on-one quite a bit so when we did some larger group settings in Quill Lake he was a great help.â&#x20AC;?

While it is just Beaudry on the ice for the majority of the time, the first year Broncos assistant coach admits he hopes in the future to be able to expand the program to include some Bronco helpers, and says it would be nice to start hosting the program in the communities surrounding Humboldt as well.

While it is still an on ice program, Beaudry says he stands out from a normal practice because he focuses on repetition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find you need to get close to 20

reps of something before your brain and your muscles start to memorize it as a pattern. So we really try to hammer through in an hour session, we may only do three different drills but we just continually do them over and over until you get better at them.â&#x20AC;?

Beaudry breaks the program down to work on a lot of skills, as well as team aspects like breakouts and zone entries, but says he focuses his coaching style not only on on ice skills, but on off ice character as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find that they all translate back on and off iceâ&#x20AC;Ś If you were to look in the Journal at jobs that are available, nowhere does it say in there that you need to be a good hockey player to get any type of job. It talks about being reliable, it talks about hard work, about being a good person,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hockeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great game and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to play and it can take you lots and lots of places but you need to learn those other life skills to be able to have a life after hockey.â&#x20AC;?

The program is centred around players who want to get better but do not have the financial ability or skills to do so, says Beaudry, who notes it costs players $10 with all proceeds from the programs being donated back to the local arena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like going to the smaller rinks that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a lot of opportunity for games and whatnot so it helps drive revenue. We all know how hard it is to keep the doors open.

Especially on a rink that may only

have novice hockey.â&#x20AC;?

Beaudry says he really enjoys being on the ice and watching the kids grow and improve.

Part of the reason he started the program was to help others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For years when I was an alcoholic I focused solely on myself and was a very selfish person. And this is a way for me to be more of a selfless leader.â&#x20AC;?

While Beaudry is able to get enjoyment out of helping others, he says he hopes aside from becoming a better player, his students recognize the selflessness of others around them, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to see someone else coming out, donating their time to help them get better.â&#x20AC;?

With Canada being both a warm and a cold climate, summers are more difficult to find ice in the area, so Beaudry says he spends the summer working with players off the ice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a training centre at my farm and we offer more things like physical fitness, pattern behaviour, how to start recognizing good and bad patterns, how to manage your time properly. If you really want to excel, cutting 15 minutes of video games a day is something small but turning that 15 minutes into maybe stretching or focusing on stick handling or working out.â&#x20AC;?

With seeding just around the corner, Beaudry says he will be busy with that but once seeding is over he is looking forward to a busy summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m willing to work with kids any night of the week they want to.â&#x20AC;?

Bruno sledge hockey celebrates 25 years

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Twenty-five years is a long time.

For the Bruno Sledge Hockey T-Birds that long time is now a reality.

The club recently celebrated their 25th anniversary.

To help celebrate, the club welcomed teams from all over the province for a tournament.

Teams from Saskatoon/Cutknife and Regina made the trek to help celebrate the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25th anniversary.

Being able to welcome clubs from different areas of the province is nice, says Joan Manderscheid with the T-Birds, who notes it has been a long time coming. When they started the Bruno club there were very few teams in the province, pointing to Estevan as one of the few. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For years we tried to start a team in Saskatoon but it was very hard to start another team. Now actually Kindersley has one, Saskatoon has one, Cutknifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to put one together, Swift Current has a junior one so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing, finally. It took a long time but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming around.â&#x20AC;?

The Bruno club was started as a way to provide for those who could not play hockey, says Manderscheid, who notes her son was one of the driving factors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had spina bifida and he wanted to play hockey like his big brother so we started the sledge hockey team and it just kept growing.â&#x20AC;?

Of course, 25 years is a long time, particularly for a less known sport like sledge hockey in a small town.

Manderscheid is quick to credit a â&#x20AC;&#x153;really good network of family and friendsâ&#x20AC;? who have been instrumental in keeping it going all these years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phys. Ed. would try it and then some of them played two, three years, some one yearâ&#x20AC;Ś we have that many we could probably even field another team if we had to. So lots of people in Bruno are involved and stay involved. Brunoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty sports-minded.â&#x20AC;?

Of course, this is also the same community, who have been heavily involved in broomball over the years.

Manderscheid notes that having both sledge hockey and broomball succeed in a small community like Bruno is a credit to the people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much if the nucleus stays then it seems to hang in there.â&#x20AC;?

Of course, while the club has been successful in consistently fielding a team, they have also enjoyed success on the ice.

With the province short on sledge hockey teams over the years, the Western Canadian Championships has been a go-to tournament for the T-Birds, and despite being short on playing opportunities throughout the winter, the T-Birds held their own.

In a span nine years, the T-Birds brought home a pair of Western Canadians golds in 2005 and 2006, a trio of silvers in 2010, 2011, and 2013, and a bronze in 2013.

All told, in a nine year span the T-Birds won six Western Canandian medals, pretty impressive for a small community like Bruno.

While the T-Birds generally continue to attend Westerns, Manderscheid says given the timing they will have to skip this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year it ends up on Easter weekend so

thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a couple going with Saskatoon, some of us chose because it was Easter, it was just not great timing but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve went the last 13 years, I think we missed one.â&#x20AC;?

While the tournament was a chance for the players to have some fun and the club to celebrate their 25th anniversary, the club also took a break from playing games to allow those in attendance a chance to try sledge hockey out.

Manderscheid notes this was done as a way to try to help grow the sport, by giving people a chance to try a sport they may not otherwise have the chance to.

Manderscheid also hopes those who tried it have a new appreciation for how difficult it is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very demanding. We have to be really strong upper body.â&#x20AC;?

One of the biggest difficulties for some sledge hockey players is the inability to keep their legs from falling asleep on the sled, says Manders-

WEYLAND: Delphine Josephine May 19, 1935 - March 22, 2018 The death of Delphine (nee Herman) Weyland, age 82 years, of Bethany Pioneer Village, Middle Lake, SK, (and formerly of Humboldt and Bruno, SK) occurred on Thursday, March 22, 2018, at Humboldt District Hospital. Delphine was born on May 19, 1935, to Alois and Mary (nee Weiman) Herman at home on their farm northwest of Bruno. She enjoyed growing up on the farm and you could always find her helping her dad outside. Delphine often told stories of the household and outside chores she shared with her three sisters and one brother. She attended Thiel-Krentz School which went up to Grade 8. After completing her formal education, Delphine worked as a helper for a family on a farm in the area.

Eventually, she moved to Humboldt and worked at the Princess Cafe, until she found employment at the Bruno Hotel cooking and cleaning. In August 1953, Delphine married Arnold Weyland.

They began their life together on a farm north of Bruno. On August 10, 1954, they were blessed with a son, Lloyd. She enjoyed all aspects of the farming lifestyle, and assisted with seeding, baling and harvesting, and tended to the livestock chores. As well, she always planted and harvested a large garden. Over the years, Delphine spent many hours practicing ball with Lloyd and watching his games. She enjoyed curling in the winter. In 1967, Arnie and Delphineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad introduced her to Anglin Lake, and her love for the lake life began.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long after that Delphine and Arnie started to build their own cabin up at Anglin, which was a work in progress for many years! She often commented that it was a tent with four walls for quite some time, but at least it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leak like a tent. Much of her money raising and selling chickens sure came in handy to keep the construction progressing. Arnie and Delphine loved sharing Anglin Lake, the fishing and good times with their family and many friends for many, many years. She always had time for a visit, and her hospitality was truly remarkable. Delphineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent for sharing stories and her great sense of humor always had you entertained. In 1974, Arnie and Delphine moved to their new house in Bruno, and continued to farm. Delphine also began working at the Convent as one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;cleaning ladiesâ&#x20AC;?. When they stopped farming, she missed the harvest season the most. Delphine was an accomplished cook, seamstress, knitter, quilter, crochetter, fisherwoman and card player! Another passion was music; she played the keyboard and guitar and loved to sing. Delphine started singing with the Melodiers in the early 2000â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. She moved to Humboldt in 2002, and enjoyed her new friends at the Harry Ford Centre. By 2010, signs of Alzheimer?s began. She became a resident of Evergreen Country Home in LeRoy and then in 2013, Delphine moved into Bethany Pioneer Village. Despite having Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, her joy of music, her social personality, and her kindness continued to shine towards others. Her three grandchildren gave her such joy and she was so proud of all of their achievements and talents. She will be missed in so many ways. Delphine will be lovingly remembered by her daughter-in-law, Helen (nee Pozniak) Weyland of Humboldt, SK; three grandchildren: Jay Weyland and Meagan Gebers of Edmonton, AB, Maria Weyland of Swift Current, SK, and Cody Weyland of Regina, SK; two sisters:Celestine Slater of Regina, SK, and Aurelia Ursu of Saskatoon, SK; one sister-in-law, Beatrice Herman of Bruno, SK; two brothers-in-law: Elmer Weyland of Humboldt, SK, and Delmer Weyland of Pilger, SK; numerous nieces and nephews; and by many very special friends. She was predeceased by her husband, Arnold Weyland; son, Lloyd Weyland; parents, Alois and Mary (nee Weiman) Herman; sister, Leona Ludwig; brother, Arthur Herman; brother-in-law, Wilfred Ludwig; two sisters-in-law: Linda Weyland and Ramona Weyland; and by her parents-in-law, Ed and Tillie (nee Eckl) Weyland. The Prayer Service for Delphine was held at Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel, Humboldt, on Monday, March 26, 2018, at 7:30 p.m., led by Nestor Trach and organist Darlene Cash. The scripture reader was Cindy Anderson, and the eulogy was delivered by Mark Slater.

The Funeral Mass was offered at St. Bruno R.C. Church, Bruno, on Tuesday, March 27, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., celebrated by Fr. Pius Schroh. Others taking part were: Monty Slater, crossbearer; Dawn Serblowski and Julia Reid, scripture readers; Al Back and Gen Doetzel, giftbearers; Alois and Marj Helgert, memorial table attendants. Music ministry was provided by organist Annie Moritz and members of the St. Bruno Parish Choir. Honorary pallbearers were â&#x20AC;&#x153;all those who shared in Delphineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifeâ&#x20AC;?. Active pallbearers were Jay Weyland, Cody Weyland, Arden Herman, Barry Herman, Brent Slater, and Rodney Ursu. Interment followed at St. Bruno R.C. Cemetery. Memorial donations may be directed to either Bethany Pioneer Village or to the St. Bruno Parish Fund.

Schools battle it out at Robot Rumble

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Bruno School sent two teams and four students to the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Robot Rumble competition in Saskatoon on March 22. Four local schools sent students to compete including Annaheim, Bruno, Kinistino, and Three Lakes School with 120 total teams from high schools across the province.

Saskatchewan Polytechnic welcomed Saskatchewan schools to their Saskatoon campus for their tenth annual Robot Rumble on March 22.

Out of 120 high school teams, four local schools competed with Three Lakes sending two, Annaheim sending three, Bruno sending two, and Kinistino sending six.

This has been nine years that Sheldon Larson, teacher and career counsellor at Kinistino School, has been taking students to robot rumble with students enjoying the competition.

Besides learning about coding and electronics, this was also a great opportunity for the social aspects as well, says Larson.

“They meet a lot of kids from other schools, discuss different robot styles, and discuss what they do at their school.”

The competition has even led to a better social environment in Kinistino School with students, with the help of Larson, starting a robotics club in the school.

Corrinne Arnold with Bruno School says her students learn much more than just robotics with the program but also problem solving.

“There’s a motherboard with a lot of holes and columns and rows. They have to know where to put the resisters and follow diagrams and problem solve your way as you go through it.”

That is what students enjoy the most, says Arnold, as the students move from one problem to another to make their robot run.

Starting the program was an opportunity to spark interest in careers, training, and education in robotics and electronic systems, says Jamie Hilts, Dean for School of Mining, Energy, and Manufacturing at Saskatchewan Polytechnic.

“The first thing really was to create something to help students understand that this is a real potential career,” he says.

And that potential is growing, says Hilts, with both the industry becoming more ad-

vanced than 10 years ago and the event itself also growing with only a small number of schools competing at the first robot rumble.

Now they have 50 different schools coming to compete with 120 different teams.

“It certainly has done some of the work that we wanted to do in a sense of a growing familiarity and interest in the field of robots and electronic systems. I think it’s achieved that.”

In the last decade, students have also adapted well as the industry has grown and evolved, says Hilts.

With the Saskatchewan government recently announcing expansion of coding based education in Saskatchewan schools, Hilts says this is a good investment with technological advancements not just being a “flash in the pan.”

“It’s going to be the way our economy is driven, it’s going to be the way that our lives our managed in many ways. It’s essential that we have opportunities for students to learn coding early and earlier on.”

Robotic curriculum will be offered as an elective in Saskatchewan high schools while also being available to grades 7-9 students.

And this is something that needs to be looked at on an international scale, says Hilts since many countries are ahead of Canada already in terms of keeping up with technological education.

We do not want to be left behind, he says.
